Hi Robin,

Here is an email that gives a bit more about God's will.

Dear Alex:

We must distinguish between God's "will" as a noun meaing His ultimate purpose and destination of things, and God's "plan" to achieve His "will."  It is God's will that mankind live righteously, but it is His purpose, plan, and intention that they first live UNrighteously.  The first is a necessary precursor to achieve the second. God commands men to do the impossible.  This too is a necessary precursor for man's learning. We must be humbled in our utter inability to do God's perfect will, before we will ever repent of our weakness and wickedness.  And understand that God does not force us to sin. We sin voluntarily from our hearts, and in so doing it is only right and good that we should be punished for sinning. Our hearts and minds must be converted from what they are into the Image of God's Son.

God be with you,

Ray

One of the things I like about Ray's writings is that you can also learn a lot about how mankind thinks. Some of the things are just silly.  :P

I remember reading Ray's writings on the will. It made me think of a time when I seen someone up town where I live and I told someone else I had seen this person at a gas station and I waved at them. This person I was then telling told me "how can that be?..He told me that he was going to Wal-Mart." I was dumbfounded! The guy can't stop at the gas station on the way?  ???  He can still be going to Wal-Mart! The fact that he stopped at the gas station on the way does not mean he is not going to Wal-Mart like he said.  ::)  Anyhow it was funny.  ;D
